About the album

Original songs propel Carrie Wicks' fourth recording for OA2 Records. Several are co-written with co-producer Nick Allison, and others with Ken Nottingham, who, along with Wicks, are members of the Bushwick Book Club where literature is used to inspire compositions and then performed at unique musical literary events. Several of these songs are presented here with Carrie's shimmering quartet meshing beautifully with her intimate, burnished tone and conversational delivery. "Some Other Spring," a harmonically intriguing ballad recorded by Billie Holiday in 1939 and "Meet Me at No Special Place" from Nat King Cole's songbook are also included. "What a surprise her voice is: individualistic and alluring at the same time." - WWOZ, NEW ORLEANS
Originalsongs sind die Basis für Carrie Wicks vierte Aufnahme bei OA2 Records. Einige davon sind gemeinsam mit dem Koproduzenten Nick Allison geschrieben, andere mit Ken Nottingham, der zusammen mit Wicks Mitglied im Bushwick Book Club ist, wo die Literatur als Inspiration für Kompositionen genutzt und dann bei einzigartigen musikalischen Literaturveranstaltungen aufgeführt wird. Einige dieser Lieder werden hier mit Carries funkelndem Quartett präsentiert, das sich wunderbar mit ihrem intimen, geschliffenen Ton und ihrer Gesprächsführung verbindet. "Some Other Spring", eine harmonisch faszinierende Ballade, die 1939 von Billie Holiday aufgenommen wurde, und "Meet Me at No Special Place" aus Nat King Coles Liederbuch sind ebenfalls enthalten. "Was für eine Überraschung ist ihre Stimme: individualistisch und verführerisch zugleich." - WWOZ, NEW ORLEANS

Carrie Wicks (vocals)

When Carrie Wicks steps onto the stage, her shy, demure manner gives you the impression that she just came from her day job as a librarian. Then she counts her band off, closes her eyes, and proceeds to mellifluously swing her butt off, unassumingly drawing the audience in all the while. Her tone puts to mind the perfect glass of earthy, red wine coupled with the most luxurious piece of dark chocolate at the end of a long day. At ease and unhurried, she meanders in and out of a medium swing, taking notice of every detail, seemingly to lag a mile behind the beat to examine the intricacies of an embellished chord, only to magically appear right in time...

During her first vocal jazz workshop, over a decade ago, Ms. Wicks had a lightbulb moment and has continued to pursue her passion for the study of vocal jazz since then with the finest jazz musicians from Seattle and beyond. She has performed at Cafe Campagne, Lottie's Lounge, Egan's, Lucid, St. Cloud's, 611 Supreme, the Sorrento Hotel as well as Tula's, Columbia City Theater, and the Triple Door.
